2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What if both Sanders & Trump went 3rd party, creating a FOUR WAY race? [View all]hollowdweller
(4,229 posts)Most of the young Bernie supporters will set this one out.
The independents for Bernie will mostly move to Trump.
All the rest of the Sanders folks will move to Hillary.
Hillary's wanting to restrict gun ownership will kill her chances in a lot of the blue collar and rural areas. Trump will pick those up with his pro gun anti trade line.
Hillary will pick up the GOP's business support because Trump is talking trade and tariffs. Most of the economic republicans will move to Clinton.
Hillary will get the well educated suburban upper middle class vote and Trump will get the middle and lower middle class vote.
I think it will be interesting because I feel the GOP country club support will move to Clinton.
The democratic party will be economically like the GOP but on social issues more progressive than ever.
The GOP will be populist on economic issues but more racist than ever.
Trump is going to dial back the over the top things and focus on Clinton as SOS failing to make progress in the middle east. Being reckless security wise with her emails. He will also go after her speeches and expand on the crooked theme.
